How I did it: I wasn't happy with myself or the way things were going in my life. At Church we were constantly being prodded to "pray and meditate" more, so I decided to make that my mission over Lent: to meditate/pray silently for ten minutes everyday. I just sat on the ground, closed my eyes, and pictured myself by the ocean. I cleared my mind of all thoughts and just invisioned the ocean, the waves coming up and down. After I had cleared my head, I would sort through my problems. I would ask God for help and thank Him also. It was extremely fulfilling and definitely filled a hole I had felt in my heart for so long. All you need is ten quiet minutes to take insight into your life, whether you believe in prayer or simply meditating.
